DreamWoven 2008 was Busy.....

2008 was busy... but not as busy as last year. Thought I'd post the "Last Year" pic. These pieces were made in 2008 and it is not all of them (there were doubles and triples and quads made of some of the Attitude Hats) and it doesnt include any 'personal' knitting for myself or family. Hope you all have a peaceful, lucrative and healthy new year!See you all at 1000Markets.com

Alissa Sorenson A Bone...

My friend AmyPG invited me to see this today. At first, I was skeptical, but I tried to keep an open mind, and I was happy to be hanging out with Amy. By the end, she and I were working together on helping each other "glow." (The use of the word "glow" was starting to sound cultish by the end of the film, but the message is still good. Basically, find your joy, be in your truth, that kind of stuff.) One of the women in the film said, "Focus on what you… Continue

DreamWoven A Man of Many Talents

My husband .....I want to blog about him........... recently he has been on a journey with his own art. Though he has been a painter (and photographer) for many many years, he is just now learning to 'just paint'. He and I work very differently. It is one of the things that attracts us so greatly to each other. We admire each others work, but i believe we also admire how each of us works. I use 'seat of the pants' technology and he actually, really know… Continue

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll
This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
